Kazuha Toyama (遠山 和葉 Tooyama Kazuha?), also known as Kirsten Thomas in the Funimation dub, is character in the manga and anime Detective Conan. She is a childhood friend of Heiji Hattori.

Background

Kazuha has been Heiji's friend (and not-so-secret love interest) since childhood. At one time, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking each other together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.[1] At some later point, Kazuha added a picture of Heiji into her own charm pouch as a sign of her devotion to him.[2]

After Heiji had met Conan and discovered his true identity, he kept talking about him enthusiastically, but since he neglected to mention that Kudo was male, Kazuha thought Heiji was entertaining annother love interest. When Heiji invited Conan, Ran and her father to a culinary trip in Osaka, Kazuha furiously confronted Ran as her apparent rival over Heiji, but after the misunderstandings in their true relationship were cleared out, she and Ran quickly became best friends.[3]

Kazuha is also a 2-dan in aikido.

Personality

Kazuha is an Osakian version of Ran Mouri. Though she is a bit less optimistic than Ran, the two girls share many common things, including a special passion and pride for their respective detective boyfriends and a strong fear of the supernatural. It is perhaps because of these similarities that the two girls understand each other so well and treat each other like sisters.

Plot overview

Relationships analysis

Kazuha has been best friends with Heiji since they were very young. Often times they act more like a couple then like friends, though they both deny having any such relation with each other. Kazuha tends to be somewhat overbearing and extremely protective of Heiji, and has no problems in chasing off any potential female who may show some interest in him.
